TL;DR · Systems Development Engineer, Antenna System Validation

As a Systems Development Engineer for the Amazon Leo team, you will work at the intersection of software, hardware, RF, and signal processing to characterize and validate next-generation phased array antenna systems. You will bridge multiple engineering disciplines to design, model, and evaluate phased array architectures while analyzing end-to-end RF performance. Your daily responsibilities include developing tools for system performance characterization, building scalable test frameworks, and implementing automated test pipelines. You will utilize coding and scripting skills in languages such as Python, C, C++, Java, Ruby, or PowerShell within Linux or Unix environments. The role requires hands-on experience with lab equipment like VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes to solve technical problems related to beamforming, electromagnetics, and digital signal processing for low Earth orbit satellite networks.

What you'll do

  • Develop tools to characterize the performance of phased array antennas.
  • Design, model, and evaluate phased array architectures with cross-functional teams.
  • Analyze end-to-end RF performance across different system architectures.
  • Build scalable test frameworks and automated test pipelines for system validation.
  • Create characterization tools to support system validation efforts.
  • Plan, develop, and implement specific test activities for phased array antennas.

What we're looking for

  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident, refugee, or granted asylum.
  • Bachelor's degree or above in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
  • 2+ years of experience in hardware design and validation of components, subsystems, and systems.
  • Experience coding, scripting, and automating in at least one language such as Python, C, C++, Java, Ruby, or PowerShell.
  • Experience working in a Linux or Unix environment.
  • Experience with phased array antenna architectures, beamforming, or RF characterization techniques.
  • Experience with lab equipment including VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and oscilloscopes with foundational knowledge of RF principles.
  • Export Control Requirement: Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates.
